A collection of short stories and one novella. Difficult to classify as any one genre, the topics range from a word as plague and deep space paranoia to the macabre tale of a son who keeps his father’s still beating heart in a jar. The novella about a man’s obsession with a missing Egyptian king and his ‘words of power’, Charybdis and ‘O Aoyoo’ are standouts. Sometimes the writing verges on poetry but with a creeping undertone of unease.
